The indie chick: 'The Voice'

NBC

"The Voice" was a surprise hit for NBC -- and any show that gives Cee Lo an excuse to break out the supervillan cat is something to treasure. But it doesn't have the drawing power of "Idol" or even "X-Factor." Think of it as Regina Spektor or Cat Power -- great indie singers, but not household names.
